The Terror of Tomorrow

Posted by: | Comments (0)

This title is taken from a highly rec­om­mended book by Ken Wilber, A The­ory of Everything.

In his book, Wilber writes: “One of the great­est prob­lems and con­stant dan­gers faced by human­ity is sim­ply this: […] once a [exter­nal] mate­r­ial entity has been pro­duced, it can be used by indi­vid­u­als who are at vir­tu­ally any level of inte­rior devel­op­ment. […] One of humanity’s con­stant night­mares has been that tech­no­log­i­cal growth has always run ahead of growth in wis­dom, care and com­pas­sion­ate use of that tech­nol­ogy.”

The idea is that devel­op­ments in EXTERIOR world tech­nol­ogy have out­paced the devel­op­ment in INTERIOR world mas­tery (wis­dom). Sim­ply put, we all have access to and can use freely “stuff” that we could not have invented, and do not nec­es­sar­ily have the matu­rity to use wisely. It is a bit like enter­tain­ing a two year-old by giv­ing him a lighter and some oil.

Modern Science and Eastern Mysticism

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Early 20th cen­tury sci­en­tific research on how the brain stores mem­o­ries had shown that rats could still run a maze with a major part of their brain removed, which brought about the con­clu­sion that mem­o­ries were not stored in the brain, but through­out the whole body (the basis of the sci­en­tific proof of the mind-body connection).

Karl Pri­bram, in his pio­neer­ing work on the brain and the ner­vous sys­tem which led to the devel­op­ment of the holo­nomic model, shows that mem­o­ries are stored, not in cells, but as wave pat­terns. His break­through dis­cov­ery that the Human ner­vous sys­tem func­tions a holo­gram opened a whole new dimen­sion to how we see the Mind and the ner­vous sys­tem (have you ever heard that we are only using 10% of the capac­i­ties of our brain?). A holo­gram is a light field result­ing from the inter­fer­ence of two light beams (one of them going through an object) on a record­ing medium which appears as a 3D object. One of the inter­est­ing qual­i­ties of the holo­gram is that if you break the holo­graphic plate, you get 2 whole pictures.
